Although rare post concussion syndrome is far more common among those that have multiple concussions or second impact syndrome. The symptoms of post concussion syndrome fall into three broad categories: physical complaints, behavioural changes and thinking problems. Physical complaints include headache, dizziness/balance, fatigue, problems with vision, sensitivity to noise or light, or problems with sleep. Behavioural changes include moodiness (depression), irritability (anger), or an inability to sit still. Thinking problems include difficulty making decisions, "foggy" thinking, or problems recalling simple words. 3, record 1, English, - post%20concussion%20syndrome
